#FishyFriday finds fish-a-plenty on the market in Newlyn this morning.





Stack 'em high, megrim soles make up the biggest part of the AAlgrie's  trip today...


while the Sapphire II had a good shot of monk tails...


to go with her megrim collection...


always a good dollop of red gurnard with the inshore trawler Imogen II...


while big turbot seem to love the Lisa...


the cod has a big mouth to match its appetite for shellfish...


although the correct name for these spotty little fish is mor ki or sea dog most fishermen pronounce them in this part of the world 'mergies'...


one big, dark conger...


some of the Harvest Reaper's fish from a day at sea...


cod don't get landed better than these...


those bright red gills are a sure sign of freshness...


buyers from all nations get to visit the market...


charismatic MSC Certified hake from the Charisma...


helped fill the netter end of the market...


name that nose...


fish on the move...


whiting are likely to prove one of the choke species for inshore boats...


pristine pollack from a netter...


waiting for the right moment to bid...


it's eyes down at the auction...


at another pair of pollack...


what's the connection between these fish and golf?...


top quality net fish from the KJaren of Ladram using the boxes from the previous boat...


favourite food of the Mousehole Cat...


that man Tom again...


heavy skies, not promising to be a day like yesterday for sure...


this morning's arrivals and landings...


fish fight...


fuel for the thirsty beam trawler, Sapphire II...


in the morning...


seems like the blue boats like to stick together...


like the red ones...


red sky in the morning, you have been warned...


as the dawn light hits the windows of those lucky houses that face out across the Bay...


the Trinity House flagship Galatea at anchor off Battery Rocks...


Penzance's newest Art Deco property nears completion.
